        <footnote id="F1">Transaction represents common stock acquired by the Reporting Person, upon the cashless exercise of stock options reflected in Table II of this Form 4.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Reporting Person pledged certain stock options to secure the Reporting Person's promissory note with a private lender.  The note was due and the lender foreclosed on the collateral.  The lender exercised a total of 136,401 stock options, on a cashless basis, at the market price of $2.35 per share, less an exercise price of $1.60 per share, and received 43,532 shares of common stock in payment of the amount owing under the note.  This transaction was initiated by the lender and not by the Reporting Person.  The lender deemed the price of the common stock to be $2.35 per share, which was the closing market price on June 12, 2009, the date of the foreclosure and transfer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The stock options were granted to the Reporting Person on March 1, 2007; 66,667 options vested on October 1, 2007, 66,666 options vested on March 1, 2008 and 3,068 options vested on October 1, 2008 pursuant to the 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan.</footnote>
